The Digital IO monitor screen is accessed from the home “View”’ menu. It provides simple, at a glance status
monitoring of all digital inputs and outputs configured on the MCT control module. To view input status, press

5.7 System Alarms
When an alarm condition occurs, the alarm icon flashes in the MCT icon bar to provide a visual indication of an
alarm condition. An audible alarm will also sound if the alarm requires immediate operator attention such as a
loop communications failure or a process alarm set point has been exceeded. For more information on
adjusting the audible alarm volume, see section 10.12 Display Settings.
5.7.1 Alarm Monitor
The Alarm screen is accessed from the home
“View” menu. It can also be displayed by pressing the alarm icon
whenever a new alarm occurs. It displays all current and/or previously acknowledged alarms according to time
and date of occurrence. Once the alarm is reset, the alarm icon will be hidden; however, the alarm condition
may still be present.
The alarm will be removed from the list when cleared by the operator
by pressing the “Clear” button. Only
alarms that are not currently active in the system can be cleared from the alarm list.
